Following IRB-approved consent, 60 patients were be randomized (63 patients to be enrolled accounting for a <5% screen failure and <5% dropped patient rates) to receive either a desflurane or sevoflurane-based anesthetic for pelvic floor repair. The selection of the anesthetic gas (sevoflurane or desflurane) was determined by computer generated randomization. Only the Anesthesiologist or the CRNA knows which gas has been administered to the subject. All the investigators and the co-investigator who collected the research data were blinded to the gas selection.
